London-based artists Heyes and West crafted the image dictionary from webpage code that pulled the images from the Internet and laid them into columns alphabetically in a PDF. The finished product was printed and hand-bound with a colorful marbled cover. Google's logo in gold sits prominently on the front.

Heyes and Felix created the tome as a work of art. While their intent was to document the current state of the world according to Google's image search results, West said the dictionary is "whatever you make of it."
